Bandai has revealed the name of the next Dragon Ball Super Card Game expansion. The title of this set is Zenkai Series – Critical Blow. This is the fifth expansion of the Zenkai Series and is overall the 22nd main series Dragon Ball Super Card Game set. This set does include a God Rare, which makes that as-of-yet unrevealed card the fourth God Rare in the hobby after Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta from Realm of the Gods, Bardock from Rise of the Z-Legends, and Son Goku from Wild Resurgence. So far, we can confirm that this expansion includes multiple focuses, including the Z-era Broly movies (including Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly – Second Coming, and Bio-Broly) and DBS: Super Hero. Today, we will start breaking down the Special Rare, or SPR cards, of Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Zenkai Series – Critical Blow.

Son Gohan, Beast Rage! We previously saw this card as a Super Rare. This Special Rare is a rarer version of the same card with more textured, gold foil. The difference between SRs and SPRs, aside from the aesthetics, are that it's more difficult to pull SPRs. A booster box of 24 Dragon Ball Super Card Game packs will have five Super Rares, two Special Rares, and a chance — just a chance! — of a Secret Rare (SCR) or, if you're one of the lucky few who have ever pulled one, a God Rare (GDR). This Gohan Beast SPR is sure to be one of the most memorable of the set, showing off Gohan's new form in a card that is, to me, even cooler than the original Secret Rare on which it debuted a few sets back.
